Long Valley at Mammoth Lakes, California – water testing.
On Jan. 10 at noon in the Building 50 auditorium, five Lab scientists will discuss innovative solutions to improving the reliability, efficiency, and sustainability of water-energy systems in California and the nation. The event, “Big Ideas in Water Technology Research,” will be moderated by Peter Fiske, director of Berkeley Lab’s Water-Energy Resilience Research Institute, which aligns the Lab’s water-related research programs.
The scientists, from three research areas across the Lab, will speak for eight minutes each and then take your questions. Bring your lunch and learn how Berkeley Lab is addressing the challenges associated with the interdependence of water and energy.
The talk will also be streamed live. You can add the event to your calendar here. Go here to view a poster promoting the event.
